Battle of Suippes

The Battle of Suippes was a battle of World War I that occurred on 29 June 1918 when the Entente forces of France, the United Kingdom, United States, and Belgium launched an offensive against the Imperial German Army's positions in the Champagne region of northern France. The Entente forces launched assaults against the German trenches, with some soldiers flanking the Germans by using underground tunnels containing the soldiers' cots. However, the Germans succeeded in counterattacking and forcing the Entente troops to retreat to their own trench, and the Germans inflicted heavy losses on the Entente units. The Allied offensive ground to a halt, and the battle resulted in stalemate.
